Contrast this with sports (except quidditch), which mostly involve people running around in two dimensions.
Sport is obviously different on that side of the Atlantic. I have just seen (2D) images of Lampard's goal form a free kick for Chelsea yesterday - could not be adequately described in two dimensions.
But then you do not have cricket over there.
Seriously though there are lots of sports where players have to model the ball moving in three dimensions - perhaps this is extreme in cricket, epseically with the spin bowlers, but it applies too in baseball surely, and in sports like volleyball and tennis. And have you seen the way a rugby ball bounces?
